Mabel is a 5 month old Havanese in Elkhart, IN, who needs $2,000 for Surgery to Close the Patent Ductus Arteriosus.

Mabel is a rescue puppy. Having to start supposedly grade 4 heart murmur. Almost 5 months old. Just a baby. I have had her and her sister since beginning of November. Mabel loves her sister, Pearl. 2 peas in a pod. Absolutely little love bugs. And she also loves the other fur babies in the family too. Both girls having heart issues.

Took Mabel and Pearl to the veterinarian cardiologist at NIVES, Fort Wayne, IN. After echocardiograms both were diagnosed with grade 5 heart murmurs. And both Mabel and her sister needing heart surgery. Without it their prognosis is grim. Probably not going to see their first birthday, but if they have the needed surgery to fix the issue they can have the chance to go on to live happy full lives.

Mabel and Pearl are just sweeties and have touched my life so much already in the weeks they have become members of my family. They love everybody and are just babies. Despite the heart issues they are happy and bring so much joy to all those around them. They love cuddles, playing, new experiences. Even eating the snow and going for car rides.

With 2 puppies Facing unexpected heart surgeries at one time isn’t something we were financially planning for and it broke my heart to hear the diagnosis. To be able to give my girls their lives to live to the fullest and watch them grow up would mean everything.
